fmt or fold.
Re-flows text to fit within the column width you specify, breaking at word boundaries. Each paragraph is treated independently. Useful for formatting emails, READMEs, code comments, or terminal output. Runs entirely in your browser.
Word Wrapper: wrap text to a column width instantly using the Unix fmt logic for clean, readable documents. This utility is the perfect text reflow tool for handling prose, READMEs, and emails where you want to maintain paragraph structure while fitting a specific width. Unlike simple line-break formatters, our tool joins existing jagged lines before performing the wrap, ensuring a consistent look across your entire text block.
Our paragraph wrap online engine never breaks inside a word, ensuring that your content reads naturally even after a heavy wrap operation. It functions as a versatile column width wrapper, allowing you to target 72 characters for plain-text email, 80 for terminal output, or wider for modern editors. Because it treats blank lines as paragraph separators, it serves as an effective prose formatter that preserves the original flow and intent of your writing while providing a tidy, production-ready result.
Word Wrapper always wraps at word boundaries (like Unix fmt) and re-flows whole paragraphs by joining their existing lines first. The Word Wrap Tool also offers a hard-wrap mode that breaks inside words. Pick this one for prose, the other when you need exact column counts.
A paragraph is any block of lines separated from the next by one or more blank lines. Each paragraph is collapsed into one long line, then re-wrapped at the chosen column width - so jagged input becomes a tidy block.
72 columns is the long-standing convention (RFC 5322 actually allows up to 78). 80 is fine for terminal output and code comments. For the body of a git commit message, 72 is widely recommended.
